Why are U.S. citizens ignoring the 6% gain on GDP, by not nationalizing health care?

Statistics show that the average U.S. citizen pays considerably more for their, --- bankruptcy creating inhumane medical system, --- than other countries who have nationalized health care. The gain in GDP is around 3%.

It follows economies of scale gains are likely to be about 3%. If a penny saved is a penny earned, I am justified in saying that there would be a 6% saving to the average U.S. citizen.

Why are Americans wasting such a huge amount of gains, when going single payer could bring such a huge gain to each American?

I ask all my Yankee friends; what the hell? Recognize that single payer, pays great dividends.

1. Pure ideology.
2. Implementing single-payer would require some heavy-duty logistical heavy lifting in a country this size and with this byzantine a private insurance system, especially since we're not a unitary state. (Note that I still agree that it should be done.)
3. Shouldn't this be in US General or Political Debate?

The big health insurance lobbies will never let the media change American public opinion change on this issue.
